This should be included. May be Dickey’s best non ABB solo.....
Great clarinet solo too and unmistakably Dickey Betts. Like some other guitar greats, Dickey has is own unique style and sound. You can tell it's Dickey when Dickey solos right off.
I'm rather sure this track was recorded about 1996 or 1997 and is on a various artists album that features the songs of the great Jimmy Rogers, the great yodeling western swing singer and song writer.
Hank Jr also covered Long Time gone and Dickey def plays lead on it. maybe around 1976ish?
"Rock Bottom"

Thank you sir!
Did some research-- the only album this appears on is a compilation called "Roots and Branches" which covers the years 1963-75. So it would appear to be an outtake from the "...And Friends" album that also included Toy and Charlie, et al. I haven't been able to confirm that it's Dickey playing the solo but it certainly sounds like him. Nice find.
it's too late to go home early tonight... Dickey Betts Band
Dickey does a couple of nice guest spots on Pedro & Friends Too, esp My Baby’s Gone - that is a Fine CD, everyone is on it, great vibe :chillzone: & their take of Hendrix’ My Friend Fits Right In 
Pedro Arevalo has sort of become a forgotten man seems to me - hope this great musician is well & happy, I just don’t keep up as well w/music as I used to
